What skills do we teach in High Ropes that link to core skills?

  • Counting the crates/holds, this also supports estimation using distance, meters, feet
  • Use of fractions - e.g. half way up the ropes

SCIENCE

  • How belaying works (angles causing friction to slow climbers descent)
  • Pulley system and how this keeps us safe
  • Friction of the ropes we are pulling

GEOGRAPHY AND PE

  • Wind differences at different heights
